Question: Fascicle 58 states: 'As for wrong view, all inverted views are called wrong view. It should be known that this view is briefly of two kinds: setting aside wrong view [proper], all other four [views] are called wrong views of superimposition. All views repudiating cause and repudiating effect, etc., are called [views of] deprecation.' Fascicle 1 of the Abhidharmasamuccaya-bhāṣya states: 'Four are superimpositions, because they superimpose an intrinsic nature and distinctions upon the cognizable object; that is, the four views other than wrong view [proper]. One is mostly a view of deprecation.' 'Mostly' means that because of false conceptualization, it is not necessarily deprecation. Why does one state that it is entirely deprecation, while the other states it is mostly deprecation? How can they conflict in this way?
